Step 4:

Allot the hard disk size and also the directory you want else go with the default

After these steps start the Virtual machine, Since it is the first time it will prompt us so that a Disk Image (ISO image) can be mounted. Browse and locate the ISO image on your hard disk. ( the place where you downloaded Matriux Krypton)

Select Installation media to the ISO in your hard disk or DVD drive

This will start Matriux in Live mode

Enter password as "toor" and login

Step 6:

Open up a terminal and type gparted to start the gparted interface
